ServNet
is Growing and Expanding -- Adding Pennsylvania Auction
As
the first step in ServNet’s expansion plan for 2008, the ServNet Auction
Group has added the Pittsburgh Independent Auto Auction (PIAA) to its
network of premier independent auto auctions.
ServNet
President Keith Lelux made the announcement at the semi-annual ServNet
owner’s meeting held recently in Las Vegas. “One of our goals this
year is to identify the best independent auto auctions in markets not
currently covered by one of our ServNet member auctions. D-A Auto Auction
(now PIAA) is a great addition to the ServNet Auction Group. Through
our affiliations with the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA), we
have known the Angelicchio’s for years. As the incoming NAAA Vice
President, Dave Angelicchio is on top of what’s good for his customers,
his auction, and for the auto auction industry,” stated Lelux.
Representing
PIAA at the ServNet owner’s meeting was general manager and owner Dave
Angelicchio.
The
Pittsburgh Independent Auto Auction (PIAA), formerly known a D-A Auto
Auction, has been a significant part of the Southwestern Pennsylvania
automobile industry for over 30 years. Founded in 1978 by Clo
Angelicchio, D-A Auto Auction was the logical next step for the wholesaler
who began auctioning factory vehicles at his reconditioning facility.
The Angelicchio family owns and manages the 7-lane auction site, which
includes a state of the art body shop and reconditioning facility, and
offers 1000+ vehicles each week for auction sale.
Located
on 140 acres southeast of Pittsburgh in New Stanton, PA, D-A Auto Auction
recently changed its name to better define who they are and where they are
located. The auction, now named the Pittsburgh Independent Auto
Auction, services the entire metropolitan Pittsburgh market area and
surrounding state s.
“To
be affiliated with ServNet has been one of our goals for some time.
We’re excited to be able to announce our ServNet Auction Group
membership along with our name change and expansion of facility and
services at the auction,” offered Angelicchio when officially recognized
as ServNet’s newest member.
The
recent ServNet owner’s meeting held just prior to the Conference on
Automotive Remarketing in Las Vegas, was the first to be facilitated by
TPC Management. TPC was retained in January to oversee the
management of the ServNet Auction Group.
TPC
president and new ServNet CEO Pierre Pons presided over the meeting
stating, “Expanding the ServNet geographic footprint was the first
initiative we received from the Board of Directors. PIAA is one of several
auctions we will add to the ServNet Auction Group this year.”
